For a system with C-band and Ku-band LNBs:
1) Use high-frequency splitters to split the incoming C- and Ku-band LNB signals. Be sure to hook the coax from your
analog or 4DTV receiver to the output marked with the diagonal line (indicating passive one-way voltage flow) on
each high-frequency splitter. Connect the coax from each splitter to the correct LNB input on the analog or 4DTV
receiver (Ku-band splitter to Ku-band L N B IN and C-band splitter to C-band L N B IN ).
2)
Connect the other output on the high-frequency splitters to the Aand B inputs on the DiSEqC switch, which will
combine the C- and Ku-band signals and feed them to the MPEG-2 receiver through the
LN B IN
input.
3) If your television has more than one coaxial or A/V input, connect the MPEG-2 receiver to one of the inputs and
your analog or 4DTV receiver to the other (both receivers will have a connector labeled O U T TO TV). If your
television has one input, run a coaxial cable from the O U T TO T V connector on the MPEG-2 receiver to the A N T
IN input on your analog or 4DTV receiver. Run a coaxial cable from O U T TO TV on the analog or 4DTV receiver
to the input on your television.
How do I program my Pansat 2500A MPEG-2 receiver?
•Press “Menu”
• “Installation” will appear on the screen, highlighted; press “OK”
• “Antenna Setup” will appear on the screen, highlighted; press “OK”
•Arrow down the satellite list, pressing “OK” on each satellite you want to program; check marks will appear next to
all the satellites you have selected.
• Press “Exit”
•Arrow down to “Satellite Scan”. Press “OK” on satellite to scan.
•Allow the 2500A to scan until “Progress” is 100%
• Repeat “Satellite Scan” on one odd channel and one vertical channel to scan each polarity
• If no channels are collected, you will need to adjust your satellite dish with your analog IRD and try again.
• Channels that are collected will show up in yellow on “TV Programs” or “Radio Programs”
How do I set up the DiSEqC switch?
•Select “Installation”
• Select “Antenna Setup”
• Select “Satellite”
• Select “DiSEqC” (#1 for Ku-band; #2 for C-band)

NOTE: If you have
an analog receiver
with only one LNB
input and you have
a C- and Ku-band
LNB, you will need
to place a C/Ku
Switch between the
LNBs (or the high
frequency splitters)
and the analog
receiver.
